How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”， exceptin the far north， where the Eskimos ( 爱斯基摩人 ) live. There，it’s dark most of the winter， and light most of the summer. But in most of the world， people have used the sun for a clock. Even today，if you don’t have a clock， you still know that when the sun shines，it’s day，and when it’s dark，it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning， noon， or afternoon.People near the sea can tell time from the tides( 潮汐 ). In the daytime， for about six hours， the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes downand down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tidesevery 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing.In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand( 沙 ) clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in aglass shaped like the one in the picture， you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom( 底部 ) part in exactly one hour. When people turn over the hourglass， the sand will take another hour to go back again.1. How many ways does the passage show us to tell time including the watches and clocks?A. 9B. 4C. 7D. 52. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because ______.A.

The writer thinks ______.A. there are no more than two tides in a dayB. a sand clock is a better clock than the tideC. only the moon is a good “clock” for seamenD. the wind can be a clock all over the world4. In which column( 栏目 ) of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?A. Science. ___________B. News.C. Advertisements.D. Sports.19. I work as a volunteer for a group that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week， hoping to educate( 教育 ) him.Before getting out， I told Brain this trip would betiring and hard. For the first two days， he said almost nothing. Then on the third day， when we were climbingover high rocky mountains( 高山 )， he turned to me and smiled，“Really hard.”After that， a five-year-old girl， wearing a too largedress and broken shoes， followed Brain around. Later he said，“I wish I could speak French.” I was surprisedthat this was from a boy who always hated French classes.However， the moment that really reached my heart occurredin a village in the mountains. I was interviewing( 采访 ) a woman villager for an article. By working hard， she learned to read and write and became one of the leaders of thevillage.Learning her story， Brain was greatly touched.
